PowKiddy V90 is a retro gaming handheld launched in 2020. Powered by F1C100S (1-core, 702 MHz), 32MB SDRAM RAM and 2D Graphics Accelerator GPU. Features a 2.8" IPS LCD display (320 x 240, 4:3). 1020 mAh, Swappable battery. Runs Firmware with NxHope support.
Inside is an Allwinner F1C100S SoC with a single ARM926EJ-S core running at 533–702 MHz, paired with 32 MB of SDRAM and a 2D graphics accelerator. It is a modest platform best suited to 8-bit and 16-bit systems: Game Boy and Game Boy Color, NES and Famicom Disk System, Sega Master System, Game Gear, Genesis / Mega Drive, PC Engine, Neo Geo Pocket, Atari 2600, MSX and ZX Spectrum. Game Boy Advance mostly runs fine, while some non-FX SNES games and 2D PlayStation titles run okay but can be laggy.
The 2.8-inch IPS screen offers a 320 x 240 (QVGA) resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, a 60 Hz refresh rate and roughly 143 ppi, behind a plastic lens. The 4:3 format is a natural fit for many classic consoles. Some users have, however, reported screen tearing when loading the menu and in certain games.
For controls, the V90 offers a cross-shaped D-pad in the upper position, four face buttons, four horizontally oriented shoulder buttons (L1, R1, L2, R2) and a Menu button. There are no analog sticks, but the device does include rumble. Volume is adjusted with a wheel, brightness through a button combination, and power is handled by a switch. Audio comes from dual top-facing stereo speakers, with a 3.5 mm headphone jack for private listening.
The battery is a swappable BL-5C unit rated at 1020 mAh, so you can quickly swap in a spare. Charging is via USB-C, and games are stored on a microSD card. The console runs NxHope firmware, and modding is permitted.
Ideal for: players looking for a cheap, pocketable flip handheld for classic Game Boy, NES, Sega and Game Boy Advance titles, who value an easily replaceable battery and don't need the power for more demanding systems.
